The heavens opened Sunday afternoon just as the media viewing/recording period opened at Alabama's Fan Day in Bryant-Denny Stadium. The video you'll see above is a product of my best attempt at guerilla filming and equipment preservation.

It may be difficult to see in the video, but it's pouring out there. But you'll notice players and coaches barely react. A few cheered the rain, but pretty much everyone else acted like nothing was happening.

All but a few hundred super-dedicated fans ran for cover when the downpour. I'm not sure how the autograph line (wrapping around the east side of the stadium) handled the weather.

(The quality of the footage is on par with the conditions)

Of course the sun is back out soon after the viewing period ended. They're practicing before the autograph session later this afternoon.
